Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

114 (ii)

As for what he was going to do, of course, it was to continue learning the piano.

For the next period, he would go to learn the piano until he mastered it.

Actually, for a science and engineering guy like him, learning the piano was quite challenging since he had never touched one before.

But fortunately, Lin Yi was smart and had a strong memory. Even if he had to memorize things by rote, he could remember them.

Besides, he only needed to learn one piece.

By ten o'clock at night, Lin Yi returned to the thatched cottage.

The kids were still playing.

Seeing Lin Yi, Huo Mianmian immediately said goodbye to the other two kids and ran over to Lin Yi: "Dad, you're back!"

Lin Yi caught him with a smile: "Yes, did Mianmian behave while I was gone?"

Huo Mianmian nodded: "Yes, Mianmian played nicely with the friends."

Lin Yi picked him up and walked towards their living quarters: "Mianmian is great! Dad brought you a gift too."

Huo Mianmian asked expectantly: "What gift?"

Lin Yi took out a small teddy bear: "Look, isn't this little bear cute?"

The teddy bear Lin Yi bought was white, wearing adorable clothes and a bow tie, which kids loved.

Sure enough, Huo Mianmian's eyes lit up when he saw the bear: "So cute~"

"Cute, right? It's yours now."

Lin Yi placed the bear in Huo Mianmian's arms.

Huo Mianmian hugged the bear, delighted.

After returning to their place, the father and son washed up and went to bed.

Their bed was surrounded by a mosquito net, making it feel like they were living in a tent, providing a sense of security.

Huo Mianmian wore a soft round-necked pajama top, looking clean and smelling sweet.

He hugged the bear and lay down on the bed.

As soon as he lay down, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Yi leaned over and poked his cheek, saying deliberately: "Hmm? Did our Mianmian fall asleep so quickly?"

Huo Mianmian kept his eyes closed, his thick lashes fluttering, clearly trying not to laugh.

Lin Yi said: "If you're asleep, then we won't have a bedtime story tonight."

Hearing this, Huo Mianmian opened his eyes instantly: "Dad, I'm not sleeping yet!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "So you weren't asleep after all. I thought Huo Mianmian was already sleeping. Shall we tell a bedtime story tonight?"

Huo Mianmian immediately got up from the bed. "Yes, let's."

Lin Yi: "Alright, then let's tell a story from One Thousand and One Nights..."

Lin Yi leaned against the headboard and began reading from a storybook.

Huo Mianmian held his little bear and snuggled into Lin Yi's arms.

The bedside lamp cast a bright and warm glow, making the scene very cozy.

Outside, a gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves and thatch, like a soothing lullaby.

Before long, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian fell asleep together on the bed.
